Proverbs 18:3 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

3When wickedness comes, so does contempt,

and with shame comes reproach.

3When a wicked person comes, contempt also comes,

And with dishonor comes taunting.

3When the wicked man comes [to the depth of evil], contempt [of all that is pure and good] also comes,

And with inner baseness (dishonor) comes outer shame (scorn).

3With a wicked man comes contempt as well,

and shame is accompanied by disgrace.

3When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt,

And with ignominy cometh reproach.

3When the wicked commeth, then commeth contempt, and with the vile man reproch.

3When wickedness comes, contempt also comes,

and with shame comes disgrace.

3People hate it when evil comes.

And they refuse to honor those who bring shame.

3When a wicked person arrives,

shame comes with him.

And shame causes people to speak against you.

3Contempt has also come with the coming of the wicked, || And with shame—reproach.
